The AA battery consists of 56x40mm Bofors in quad mounts, and 86x20mm Oerlikons in twin mounts. The secondary battery consists of the standard 20x5"/38 in twin mounts. The armament consists of 6x18"/48 Mk1 guns in three two-gun turrets. The 18 inch gun was considered for several of the designs, but ended up too big and heavy. She's essentially a stretched South Dakota hull, with some superstructure elements taken from the Iowa class, which is not surprising since the genesis of the Georgia is one of the Iowa prelims. The paint scheme is the standard 1941 Measure 1, and she has three Kingfisher floatplanes. She has one radar, that being the CXAM-1 air-search radar. she looks very much like the 30s era battleship design studies whose superstructures more resembled cruisers such as the New Orleans, Brooklyn and Wichita. Overall the superstructure is smaller, and there's only one large funnel. Light AA consists of 4 quad 1,1" Chicago Pianos, and 14. ![]() The secondary battery consists of 16x5"/38 DP guns, with 4 single mounts, and 6 twin mounts. This one has three four-gun turrets sporting 12x14"/50 Mk B guns. ![]() My drawings represents the ship as they would have been if built/completed in the year most suitable for the three ships.įirst up is the USS Florida, a design based off of one of the later North Carolina class preliminaries. They are also not depicted in the exact same year and paint schemes. I've made some changes to them that I think makes sense, given some of the features seen on the four historical classes, though the fourth remained unbuilt. ![]() Do keep in mind I have not drawn down every little detail and feature seen on the ships. So far I have the Florida, Georgia and the Ohio. Here's a a thread for drawings of the fast American battleships from the game World of Warships.
